Is poor sleep quality associated with a deterioration in postural control?
Article in Sleep science (Sao Paulo, Brazil). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe primary aim was to investigate whether any association exists between poor sleep quality and deterioration in postural control among university student population. MATERIALS AND
methodsA case-control study was conducted in which sleep quality of 119 university students from different departments of Jamia Millia Islamia University, New Delhi, India was assessed using Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) following which the participants postural control, or dynamic balance was measured using the Y balance test (YBT). The participants were divided into two groups (A and B) based on their PSQI cut off scores. The YBT data was then evaluated for the dynamic balance assessment of the participants.
resultsThe mean age of the participants was 22.23±2.29 out of which 86 were female and 33 were male. The mean BMI of the participants was 21.58±3.66. Group A included 63 participants who had "good" sleep quality (global PSQI score < 5) whereas group B included 56 participants who had "poor" sleep quality (global PSQI score ≥ 5). Group comparisons based on t-test revealed a significant difference (p<0.05) between means of the two groups, with the mean balance of group A being greater than that of group B. Also, chi-square testing showed no significant association between the BMI and dynamic balance scores for the participants (p<0.10).
conclusionThe findings of the study conclude that poor sleep quality is associated with a deterioration of postural control in university students. The study also revealed that there was no association between BMI and dynamic balance in this population.
